What do I do to pass the time when a virus has me housebound? Go through poems, half-written poems, old poems, and decide I may as well share some here. Be patient with me...I'm older than you!


Poem Artwork

Julie was Area Rep for Shamokin Women's Club, but it was time to leave her position.  Maybe this will inspire you to go through your own buttons.

Julie, you served with gusto for a long and busy year!
Area Representative was your noble, brave career.
Although you do not murmur or lament the hours you spent,
You've lost all of your buttons, and who knows where they went!

And though your loyal committees cannot your buttons restore,
They've brought you a box,Just in case they are found,
And they've brought you a few buttons more!

Each one, from the treasures of her own button box,
Has sacrificially given this day
To show you, dear Julie, our love and our thanks
For a debt we can never repay!

 

Sincerely,

Your CWC Committees

Danville and Shamokin Clubs

I hope this is not a metaphor for Julie losing her mind? Sure region like it.
